Karl POV.

It's been about a months since Quackity and Schlatt got together. Ever since Q's been hanging out with the gang less and less. He won't even wave back at me when I wave at him in the hallway. We were supposed to do a history project together but he asked if he could switch partners. Not to mention this has hurt how we play on the field now too.

He won't even pass to me or anyone but Schlatt. We were supposed to be a dynamic duo in midfield, now I couldn't tell you what we are. Are we still friends? He's unfollowed everyone on social media and archived posts with anyone but him. Something felt wrong.

I turned on my phone and brought up my messages. I texted Q about eighty seven times over the past few weeks and still no response. I shut my phone off and threw it to the other side of my bed. I hated not having contact with him. He's my best friend and now he's not there.

A knock came from the other side of my door. "Come in." I said. Mom opened the door with a sad look on her face. "Where've you been all day? Have you just been in here sulking?" She asked, sitting down next to me on my bed.

"I guess." Was my response. "Why don't you come downstairs we'll watch a movie or something. Aniston's at a friends tonight. I just don't want you to be alone all day. Okay?" No response. "Karl honey, what's wrong?" She put a hand on my back and moved it in circles in an attempt to comfort me.

"I haven't talked to Q in almost two weeks. He won't speak to me. We were supposed to do a history project together but now I have to do it with Johnson since he wanted to switch." I explained holding back the tears in my eyes. "He won't respond to my texts. I think he blocked me. I can't lose him, he's my best friend." The tears were really threatening to slip now.

Mom pulled me into a hug and held me tightly. "Maybe he wants space." She suggested as I started sobbing. "Karl, Karl it's alright. Shhh." She held me tighter as I sobbed onto her shoulder.

"Hey is everything alright?" Momma Asked, her voice trailing off at the end as she looked at what was going on. "Quackity hasn't spoken to him in two weeks." "Oh honey I'm so sorry. Maybe he's just going through something personal, family business or something." Momma suggested, sitting on the other side of me, joining in on the hug.

"He's dating Schlatt." I said, sniffling. They both went silent. They knew Schlatt. Had a history with his parents too. He was one of the many kids growing up who made fun of me for having two moms. Beat me up in seventh grade for it too, never told anyone about that.

"How long?" Mom asked. "'Bout a month." I responded, wiping my tears away with the sleeve of my hood. "Don't worry about them okay? Just worry about yourself. Are you okay with doing the project with Johnson? Knowing everything that happened." Mom asked.

"I don't know. It's okay I guess. Nothings happened since then. Just feel terrible right now." I muttered. "I was just wondering. And if he ever tries anything with you I don't want you to hesitate in calling someone. Whether it be me or your mother, or even one of your friends like Sapnap; just call or text someone." I nodded my head and ran at hand through my hair.

"Alright. Enough of the sad stuff lets go watch a movie." Momma stated, grabbing my arm and gently pulling me out of my room and downstairs.
